Giant Poop Cake

I have had some strange requests before for cakes but this one really has to be the most bizarre so far. Emma a customer who has had a couple of cakes from me previously wanted a cake for her husband whom she rerers to as Poopy!! The biggest challenge was to make a pile of pooh look attractive. Hopefully Emma's guests won't be put off by the look of the cake!!

Today I ran another very successful workshop with some lovely ladies. Making cakes can be a very lonely choice of careers and so it is very nice to run the workshops and enjoy the banter and girlie chats that comes with them.
I was a little bit concerned that baubles might be a little difficult for my students to master, but I was so wrong, and in fact the only difficultly was in trying to work out how to transport them!

 

 

The results were amazing!!!

Amy, 40th Birthday Cake

This cake is a gift for my dear friend Amy for whom I bought a bright pink of gloves a few years ago on a previous birthday. She has been a brilliant friend over the years and I wanted to make the present personal and a little bit special.  She has been whisked away twice this weekend once with her neighbours for a spa day and then last night by her partner Simon to see Emeli Sande at The Royal Albert Hall (lucky lady).  Happy birthday Amy xxx

New Website

I must apologise for my lack of posts lately.  I am currently desperately trying to upload all my pics onto my new website which I hope will be launching in the next week or so. It will encompass my blog, recipes and lots of other interesting links.

For now here are the few bits I have been working on this afternoon, cupcakes for a workshop on Tuesday and a few special bits for a cake going out on Monday for a very good friend, Amy, who will be celebrating a very special birthday on Monday.

Christmas Bauble Cakes

I managed to find a couple of hours this afternoon to make an example for my next workshop, bauble cakes.  I have never made them myself before but found them suprisingly easy and great fun.  Going to have to go on line now and order some more small edible diamonds, they look so right against the lustre!

Anyone for KFC?

Only one cake this week, which is a good job as my little girl has been off school for the last 3 days!!  The cake was a nightmare to make due to the amount of super red colouring that I had to add to the fondant.  It took an incredibly long time to dry out, and I hadn't anticipated how the weight of the drumsticks (made of cake pop mix) would make the cake bulge (a few strategically placed chips did the trick)!

Isobella Golden Wedding Anniversary Cake

This cake has been made for the parents of two lovely friends of mine, Poppy and Sally.  Ian and Judith Faulner will be celebrating their golden wedding anniversary this Saturday and hopefully this will go down well with both the lovely couple and their guests!

A Wedding Cake Named Imogen

I have been busy once more making another wedding cake for the wedding fayre this Sunday at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall.  I thought that it might be nice from now on to give my wedding cakes a name which fits a particular style.  I thought that Imogen was a perfect name for this classy but simple cake.

Doors open at 12 on Sunday, and once again it would be great to put faces to names if you can make it!

18th Birthday Cupcakes

These cupcakes were a last minute order for the daughter of a good friend.  Wendy ordered 30, only to be told by her daughter this morning that she had invited 50!!

Moshi Poppet Cake

This cake is for my beautiful little girl Felicity who will be celebrating her 8th birthday today along with a few friends.  Unfortunately she is still obsessed with Moshi Monsters, and her favourite is Poppet, who apparently is a SUPER Moshi!

Anyway, the cake is a vanilla sponge and is designed in pink and green layers.

Cakepop stand

My wonderful daddy has just whipped me up this beautiful cakepop stand for me to use this Saturday at my daughter's 8th birthday party.  I am doing a Moshi themed desert table and needed something pretty to stand the cakepops in.  I think it is far better and prettier than the perspex variety that are more widely available.

Aqua and white wedding cake and matching cupcake tower

This is another cake combo for a wedding fair this weekend at a Thornbury Golf Club. I was hoping to get cake pops and mini cakes made as well but, life conspired against me. I have had a terrible cold and my poor little cat Peppa had to be given an emergency c-section on Thursday to deliver her one remaining kitten.

Graduation Cake

My latest cake is for a young lady named Shona who is the daughter of my best friend Helen.

Shona has just graduated from UWE Bristol in Uniformed Services and is lucky to be starting a job with the police in October.

The cake is a vanilla and almond poppy seed with a vanilla buttercream filling, and I have just had the top for my breakfast and it was yummy

Libby's 10th birthday cake!

Just a quick peep at my daughter Libby's 10th birthday cake.  A combination of vanilla sponge, white chocolate ganache buttercream, fresh raspberries all topped of with a white chocolate ganache coating more raspberries and a pastillage no 10 and L.

Old Down Manor Wedding Fair

Last Wednesday I exhibited my cakes at the amazing venue of Old Down Manor.  I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and whilst I was busy trying to woo customers my daughter set about taking some pictures.  She managed to capture a fantastic shot across the Severn which a professional would be proud of.

 

I also managed to get hold of the camera long enough to get a quick shot of my cupcake tower which I handed out as tasters on the night.
